Want to sample all the wonderful autumn vegetables at the market AND wow your Thanksgiving guests with some unexpected pomegranate pizazz-pop? Here is a perfect recipe that you can adjust to your own needs. Omit/add as you please. Throw in whatever entices you at this week’s MCM and roast a few days ahead of time so you can relax on the big day itself!

Preheat the oven to 425°. In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander and cayenne and season generously with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables on 2 large rimmed baking sheets and roast for about 55 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and golden. Scrape the vegetables into a bowl, toss with the cheese and pomegranate seeds and serve. (Courtesy of Food & Wine)

Yes, blended up with the right accessories, and you have yourself a pate of sorts that goes well on pizza, bread, stuffed into squash, or eaten by the spoonful. Here is a basic recipe that gives you protein and positive reviews!

Just blend all this together until it is a think ricotta-like consistency, adding water as needed to assist blending. (If you think ahead, soak the nuts overnight in some water.)
